  • Spend a day at the San Francisco Zoo, exploring 100 acres filled with incredible animals and family-friendly attractions. Home to over 2,000 animals from across the globe, this zoo offers exciting encounters with nature and a chance to see wildlife up close, all while learning about the importance of conservation.

    Meet animals up close

    Walk through diverse habitats that bring you close to animals from all around the world. The African Savanna is a must-see, with giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife roaming freely. Stop by Penguin Island for a peek at the playful Magellanic penguins, especially fun to watch at feeding time! The Primate Discovery Center gives you a glimpse of lemurs, gorillas, and other primates in a setting as close to their natural environment. Informative displays around each habitat let you learn about these animals' unique features and conservation needs.

    Fun for families and scenic views

    There’s plenty for families, too! The Children’s Zoo is a favorite, with a petting farm, Insect Zoo, and hands-on experiences at the Koret Animal Resource Center. Kids can ride on the Little Puffer Miniature Steam Train or enjoy the Conservation Carousel, featuring beautifully crafted animal figures. As you explore, don’t miss the zoo’s scenic gardens and Pacific Ocean views—a perfect backdrop for a day spent connecting with nature.
